The December race is at 1 Place de la Porte de Versailles, 75015 Paris, across a nine-day window — the longest on the European calendar. Nine days of waves means a start time is usually still available late, and it also means your race day is probably a weekday: build the block to your own day.

The April edition is the Maybelline HYROX Paris Grand Palais. Two dates five months apart is a genuine planning advantage rather than trivia: if your weeks do not add up for December, you can target April with a full twelve-week block instead of squeezing a short one.

What the weeks you have left can still do

Not enough for the full block, plenty for a focused build. This one sharpens compromised running and station efficiency rather than rebuilding your aerobic base.

Frequently asked questions

How many HYROX races does Paris have this season?: Two on the published 2026/27 calendar: the December race at Porte de Versailles and the April race at the Grand Palais. Both are listed above with their official event pages.
Which Paris race should I pick?: Count the weeks. Twelve or more before a race is a full block: aerobic base, station work under fatigue, then a taper. Fewer than six is a sharpening block, which is a reasonable race but not where a first-timer should start. The countdown above does that arithmetic for both dates.
Does the Grand Palais race differ from Porte de Versailles?: The format does not — HYROX is eight one-kilometre runs and the same eight stations wherever it runs, which is the point of the race. The venues differ in size and layout; HYROX publishes the floor plan and start times for each one shortly before the event.
Can I train for Paris without a sled?: Yes. Your plan substitutes the sled push and pull with the heaviest equivalent loaded work your setup allows and keeps the pattern and the stimulus. It is a compromise, and your plan says so rather than pretending the substitution is the station.

Train for Paris with a plan that ends on race day

Your coach sizes the block to the weeks actually left, to your training days and to the equipment you have — running, the stations, strength work and the taper.
